Answer:

Depreciation expense Office equipment = 1,200.00

Depreciation expense Computer equipment = 5,000.00

Explanation:

The difference between accumulated depreciation represents the depreciation charge that was made during the first quarter of the 2018 accounting year.

Then depreciation charges for the first quarter are calculated as follows:

Depreciation expense Office equipment = 800 – 400 = 400

Depreciation expense Computer equipment = 2,500 – 1,250 = 1,250

Since there are 4 quarters in an accounting year, the depreciation charge in 2018 is calculated as follows:

Depreciation expense Office equipment = 400 * 4 = 1,200

Depreciation expense Computer equipment = 1,250 * 4 = 5,000
